    <p>
      <b>Note:</b> Portecle supports the following keystore types: JKS
      (normal and case sensitive version), PKCS #12, JCEKS, BKS, UBER,
      BCFKS, and GNU Keyring.  Attempts to open keystore files of any other
      type will result in an error.  See <a href="create-keystore.html">How to
      create a new keystore</a> for more information about keystore types.
